So this week we’ve had a man impersonating an ICE agent tie up a woman and steal $1000; a man impersonating a police officer assassinate a top Democratic politician & her husband (and shoot another Democrat & his wife); and a man impersonating a king hold a military parade for his birthday

I don’t know why (!) but I’m remembering how the US invited Iraqis to rebel against Saddam after Operation Desert Storm 1991 and then left them to be brutally crushed by the regime. Thousands died and millions were displaced.

I’d like it if just once trans people were incorrect and someone we identified as a wrong’un turned out to be alright and it was a misunderstanding rather than the person’s a total bastard. It would be such a welcome nice surprise. Yet to see it though.

Streeting exerting his power over women's bodies. 53 years I've been around, and not one has passed by without some bloke exerting power over my body. That includes the minimising of my experiences with menstruation and menopause. Fuck The Patriarchy, and that includes the women upholding it.

You’re going to hear as much about “reproductive extremism” as you did “trans rights activism” in the same places, from the same people, with the same backers, with the same goal.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Maysara. Maysara wanted to be a content creator and to get married before this. He has since lost his home, income, injured his hand and his brother was martyred. He is trying to take care of his parents and his brother’s children.

In which an ostensibly progressive Jewish publication calls for the United States to invade Iran. We as American Jews must at some point recognize that we can be progressives or we can be Zionists, but we cannot be both. Zionism must yield to our common humanity. forward.com/opinion/7280...

My grandmother was a young pregnant Jewish woman alone on a train in Poland during WWII when a German soldier told her to get off at the next stop because there wouldn't be any soldiers waiting at the station. She survived because, in that moment, a soldier chose the right thing over obeying orders.
